Lockheed L188 Electras

They were fast ,too and reputedly handled like fighters….didn’t the US Navy wind one of their Orions up to nearly 500mph. When KLM realised their Electras were going to be competing with Caravelles they posted an article in their house magazine ‘De Wolkenrijder’ showing the block times hardly differed between the two types on short-medium routes…didn’t Lockheed look into relaunching a stretched Electra when the early 70s oil price hike occurred?

Well if a ‘Flying Dutchman’ like civilspotter couldn’t come up trumps with Fokkers, there would be something badly wrong!! :)….excellent stuff!

Did the Trident have the same width cabin as the 727? I remember a BEA Trident seeming really cramped…what seat pitch did they go down to in Economy?
